Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Generally peaceful but can spread
• Care Level: Beginner to Moderate

Lighting

Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate lighting gradually, especially when moving the coral into a brighter established reef system.

Flow

Provide low to moderate varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting it to a constant direct blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a stable location and allow time to adjust before considering a move.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but it can spread across nearby surfaces. Leave room for expansion and monitor neighboring corals as the colony establishes.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the primary focus.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony during acclimation. Gradual lighting adjustment supports a smoother transition. Handle zoanthids carefully and use appropriate eye and skin protection when working in the aquarium.

Give it stable placement and room to spread as it settles in.
